Dietary combined supplementation of iron and Bacillus subtilis enhances reproductive performance, eggshell quality, nutrient digestibility, antioxidant capacity, and hematopoietic function in breeder geese. Poult Sci 2020; 99:6119-6127. [PMID: 33142530 PMCID: PMC7647764 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2020.06.077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2020] [Revised: 06/13/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
A 3 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments was conducted to investigate the effects of iron (Fe, 40, 60, and 80 mg/kg) and Bacillus subtilis (2.5 × 109 and 5.0 × 109 CFU/kg) supplementation on reproductive performance, egg quality, nutrient digestibility, hormone levels, antioxidant indices, and hematological parameters in breeder geese. A total of one hundredtwenty 46-week-old Wulong breeder geese were randomly assigned to 1 of 6 dietary treatments with 4 replicates per treatment and 5 geese per replicate for 10 wk following 1 wk of adaption. Dietary Fe supplementation increased egg weight (P = 0.036), fertility (P = 0.022), serum total antioxidant capacity (P = 0.022), red blood cell (P = 0.001), hematocrit (HCT, P < 0.001), hemoglobin (HGB, P = 0.005), and mean corpuscular volume (MCV, P < 0.001). Dietary B. subtilis supplementation increased egg production (P = 0.025), eggshell thickness (P = 0.020), apparent phosphorus digestibility (P < 0.001), serum follicle stimulating hormone (P = 0.043), total antioxidant capacity (P < 0.001), HCT (P < 0.001), HGB (P < 0.001), and MCV (P = 0.025), and reduced malondialdehyde level (P = 0.008). The birds fed diets supplemented with 60 mg/kg Fe and 5 × 109 CFU/kg B. subtilis showed the highest percentage of hatched eggs (P = 0.004) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (P < 0.001) among the 6 groups. Supplementation of 40 and 60 mg/kg Fe significantly increased the apparent digestibility of calcium compared with that of 80 mg/kg Fe in the birds fed 5.0 × 109 CFU/kg B. subtilis (P = 0.004). Supplementation with 60 and 80 mg/kg Fe in the birds fed 5 × 109 CFU/kg B. subtilis significantly decreased serum urea nitrogen level compared with other 4 groups (P = 0.022). In conclusion, the combination of Fe and B. subtilis effectively improves reproductive performance, eggshell quality, nutrient digestibility, antioxidant status, and hematopoietic function of breeder geese. Dietary addition of 60 mg/kg Fe and 5.0 × 109 CFU/kg B. subtilis was an optimum supplementation dose.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary iron (Fe) on reproductive performance of Chinese Yellow broiler breeder hens during the egg-laying period. A total of 480, 55-wk-old hens were balanced for laying rate and then randomly allotted into 5 groups, each with 6 replicates (8 cages for each replicate with 2 birds per cage). The trial was for 10 wk. Birds were fed diet with 44, 58, 72, 86, or 100 mg/kg Fe contained feed. Laying performance, biochemical indices and reproductive hormones in plasma, egg quality, ovarian and oviductal variables, tibial breaking strength, and hatching performance were determined. The key performance variables hematocrit, hatchability of live embryos, and tibial breaking strength were selected for analysis by quadratic polynomial (QP) and broken-line (BL) regressions to better determine optimal dietary Fe level. Qualified egg (excluding those with double-yolk, soft-shell, cracked, very small malformed, etc.) rate tended to decrease with the lowest and highest dietary Fe levels. Hematocrit was affected (P = 0.003) by dietary Fe, along with linear (P = 0.017) and quadratic (P = 0.002) effect. There was a significant effect (P = 0.034) of dietary Fe level on tibial breaking strength of breeder hens with a quadratic (P = 0.044) effect. Breeder hens fed inadequate (44 mg/kg diet) or excess (100 mg/kg) Fe both had lower (P < 0.05) tibial breaking strength compared to that of hens fed 86 mg/kg Fe. Hatchability of live embryos was affected (P = 0.004) by diet; with both linear (P = 0.014) and quadratic (P = 0.001) effects. Maximal hatching of live embryos occurred with diets of breeder hens containing 72 mg/kg Fe. From the QP and BL models fitted to hematocrit, tibial breaking strength, and hatchability variables, the optimal dietary Fe level for Chinese Yellow broiler breeder hens in the laying period was 70-90 mg/kg. The daily Fe fed (allowance) was about 8-11 mg.

Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate Fe requirements of broiler breeders. One-hundred-fifty-six Cobb 500 broiler breeder hens were individually placed in electrostatically painted cages at 22 weeks. The study was composed of an adaptation phase, in which hens were fed corn-soy-wheat bran diets until 35 wks. An Fe deficient mash diet (24.6 ppm Fe) was provided from 35 to 46 wk in order to induce a partial body Fe depletion. A production phase followed from 47 to 70 wk when hens were fed 6 diets with increasing Fe sulfate supplementation, which, upon analyses had 24.6, 48.6, 74.3, 99.6, 125.6, and 148.2 ppm Fe. Thirty hatching eggs from each treatment were randomly collected in the last wk of each production period and incubated. Hemoglobin and hematocrit were analyzed from 6 hens as well as all hatched chicks per treatment. Analyses of production and hatching data were conducted using quadratic polynomial (QP), broken-line (BL), and exponential asymptotic (EA) models. Effects of dietary Fe were observed for total eggs and total hatching eggs, egg yolk Fe content, and hen and chick hematocrit and hemoglobin (P < 0.05). These responses to added Fe were optimized when dietary Fe were 96.8, 97.1, 130.6, 122.6, 120.0, and 125.0 ppm (QP) and 76.4, 89.3, 135.0, 128.4, 133.8, and 95.0 ppm (BL) for total hatching eggs, egg yolk Fe content, and hen and chick hematocrit and hemoglobin, respectively. Optimization with the EA model was obtained for total hatching eggs, egg yolk Fe, and hen and chick hemoglobin at 97.9, 111.0, 77.9, and 96.3 ppm Fe for total hatching eggs, egg yolk Fe, and hen and chick hemoglobin, respectively. Adequate Fe levels are needed to maintain egg production as well as hatching chicks' indexes. Fe concentration in the yolk and diet are positively influenced. The average of all Fe requirement estimates obtained in the present study was 106 ppm total Fe, whereas averaged values for BL, QP, and EA models were 107, 113, and 97 ppm Fe, respectively.

Abstract
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da suplementação de ferro, proveniente do sulfato ferroso (26% de ferro), em ração à base de milho e farelo de soja, sobre o desempenho, qualidade do ovo, deposição de ferro na gema e parâmetros sangüíneos de poedeiras comerciais no segundo ciclo de produção. Foram utilizadas 240 poedeiras comerciais Lohmann-LSL, oriundas de plantel comercial e submetidas a muda forçada com 72 semanas de idade, alojadas em galpão convencional de postura, em uma densidade de três aves por gaiola (25 x 45 x 40 cm). O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com os tratamentos constando níveis de 0, 20, 40, 60 e 80 ppm de ferro suplementar, com quatro repetições de 12 aves, e três períodos de avaliações de 28 dias cada. A ração utilizada foi à base de milho e farelo de soja, contendo 127 ppm de ferro analisado. A suplementação de ferro não interferiu no desempenho, na qualidade interna e externa dos ovos e nos parâmetros sangüíneos das poedeiras. O conteúdo de ferro na gema (mg/100g) elevou-se linearmente quando houve aumento da suplementação deste até o nível de 80 ppm, utilizado no presente trabalho.

Abstract
1. Haematological values and iron content in liver, spleen, kidneys and intestine were determined in Shaver chickens of both sexes at 4, 8, 13 and 18 weeks and in females at 24 weeks (the beginning of the laying period). 2. The haematocrit decreased significantly in laying compared with non-laying females and the haemoglobin concentration was similar to that in the prelaying state. Plasma iron in laying females increased to four times the basal value at 13 weeks. 3. Females of 13 and 18 weeks (prelaying state) stored more iron than males at the same age. A simultaneous liver and spleen mobilisation of stored iron and increased intestinal iron accumulation took place in the laying process. The haematological variables examined were minimally altered. 4. The iron contents of both heart and kidneys were influenced by age and followed a linear trend, except that in the heart of females where a quadratic response was observed.

Abstract
1. A comparative study on the iron content in internal organs (blood, liver, spleen, kidneys and heart), carcass and feathers, as well as on the whole iron content has been carried out at different ages (4, 8, 13, 18 and 24 weeks), on two chicken breeds (shaver and New Hampshire). 2. The iron content in internal organs in shaver was higher than in New Hampshire. 3. A tendency of the iron content in the carcass to decrease with age has been observed for both breeds; values were higher for laying shaver hens. 4. The egg-producing strain, shaver, showed a greater iron status with a stable body iron content from 13 weeks on (53-55 ppm), permitting a constant laying frequency (90%) during an 18-month period, with only a small reduction of egg iron content from 33.8 to 31 ppm. 5. The whole body iron decreased progressively with age in the New Hampshire broiler strain to 42-49 ppm iron, and the laying process sharpened this tendency. A drastic reduction in laying, accompanied by a lower egg iron content (28.9 ppm iron), was observed. 6. Iron data obtained in the present paper reflect the specific genetic adaptation to egg production of the shaver strain.

Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to determine the influence of dietary sodium and chloride on eggshell quality of leghorn hens. In the first, hens were fed for 4 wk diets containing three levels of calcium (2.0, 2.8, and 3.5%) and two levels of chloride (.25 and .86%) in a factorial arrangement of treatments involving four replicates of five hens/treatment. Neither chloride nor calcium significantly affected hen-day egg production or egg weight (P greater than .05); however, chloride decreased feed consumption and calcium increased body weight gain (P less than .05). Interactions of calcium and chloride were significant for eggshell strength (P less than .06) and eggshell thickness (P less than .05). Chloride decreased these measures of eggshell quality only for hens receiving 2.0% calcium, and calcium improved both measures only for hens receiving .86% chloride. Chloride decreased blood bicarbonate concentration and base excess (P less than .05), but did not affect blood pH and pCO2 (P greater than .05). The effect of dietary sodium and chloride on eggshells of hens receiving 2.0% dietary calcium was determined in a second experiment. Seven diets ranging from .18% sodium and .94% chloride to .76% sodium and .24% chloride were provided for 4 wk to five replicates of five hens/treatment. Dietary sodium and chloride levels did not affect hen-day egg production or egg weight (P greater than .05). Increasing the proportions of sodium relative to chloride decreased food intake but increased eggshell strength and thickness (P less than .01) and increased blood pH (P less than .05), bicarbonate concentration (P less than .01), and base excess (P less than .01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
